Thanks but it's still in beta.  The download page carries the quoted warning:

Quote
Overview
This is the self-extracting executable that contains the update package for Windows® XP Service Pack 3. Windows® XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes all previously released updates for the operating system. This update also includes a small number of new functionalities, which do not significantly change customers’ experience with the operating system.

This pre-release software is provided for testing purposes only. Microsoft does not recommend installing this software on primary or mission critical systems. Microsoft recommends that you have a backup of your data prior to installing any pre-release software.

Also, if it was the full version, it wouldn't say "SP3, v.3244" as that's the build number.
It would say simply "SP3".
